In this Allsvenskan fixture, Västerås SK host Mjällby, with the home side sitting 7th on 35 points from 23 matches, while the visitors are 12th on 23 points from the same number of games. Both come into this off disappointing defeats: Västerås SK lost 0-1 in their latest league match, while Mjällby also lost 0-3 in their previous league game. This match is therefore a chance for both sides to halt their frustration and take points away. Västerås SK have averaged more than a goal per game this season, but their defence has also conceded plenty. Their recent form has mixed comfortable wins with narrow defeats, alternating back and forth. Mjällby, meanwhile, have scored fewer and conceded more over the season as a whole, but they have had matches where they picked up points in low-scoring games. Their away games therefore often come in a defensive, waiting mode. The pattern is likely to be the home side dominating possession and trying to push forward, while Mjällby drop into a defensive block and wait to counter. Västerås SK's first halves at home often feature goals, and it is also a period when they must be wary of conceding from counters. The first thing to watch after kick-off is whether Västerås SK can press their way to an early goal. If they cannot, the game will increasingly flow in the direction the visitors want.
